OF the cities which the President proposes
considerable size'' which is not preparing to
use him either as a side show attachment to
bigger circus, or as an advertisement to
boom business interests. indianapolis, being
that the dignity of the presidential Office is
incompatible with hippodrome performances,
has made no arrangements for anything but
the stereotyped reception and parade. As
it thus loses its only opportunity for spectacu-
lar display with the chief magistrate as the

and is perfectly we'll known here. Mr.. Han
ways settlement was made on the re-
port of board of experts appointed by the
County Commissioners, OF which Hon. Austin
III. Brown was one, and Mr.. Hanway paid
over every dollar and every cent found to be
due from him. Weeks and months after this
settlement and his retirement from Office, an
error CD was claimed to have been made IN
the Office of the Democratic county auditor,
who was in office during the entire period of
Mr.. Hanway's incumbency, and upon this
"error," if there was one, made in the office of
the Democratic auditor the claim against Mr..
Hanway was based. The claim did not grow
out of an investigation of MIR. Hanway's
books, whether those books We're kept
well or i'll, honestly dishonesty, though
an examination of the treasurer's duplicates,
of course, followed in the further investiga-
ton Of the charge. And finally, Mr.. Halford,
whose name has been used in connection
with the matter, was never Mr.. Hanway's
book keeper cashier; never kept one book
or set of books for Mr.. Hanway county
treasurer, for anybody else. No reference
to these personal reflections would have been
made had not a reputable Republican
newspaper seen fit to allude to them
The irresponsible rawlings of the organs are

A SUIT is about to be brought against
ing out of the Know nothing riots which oc-
CURED in that city in 1855. The plaintiff is a
Mrs. Ann Trainer, and the claim is for the
destruction of her house in the riots. These
were the outgrowth of bitter fight between
the Know nothings, who supported Humph-
rev Marshall for Congress, and General Pres
ton, his opponent. The Kentucky Legisla-
ture passed an act, soon after the riots,
enabling the city to settle claims of those
who lost property in the riots but this claim
was not then presented. If allowed it will
carry interest from August, 1856.

and honest administration OF The corporations

of the laws That Mr.. Edenharter bears tbs
Democratic label should not weigh one hair foS
against him. The same is equally true
Mr. Denny and Mr.. Davy as to their respective
party classifications. There is no test OF party
fealty involved in this election. The sole ques-
ton is that of the communitv's best interests.
This is to be answered by Mr.. Edenharters de-
feat, and in nowise, We repeat. because ne hAp-
pens to be the Democratic candidate, but because
he represents certain elements that are inlmlcA
to the good of this community. He IS the figure

it would be administered to accomplish the Same

responsibility thereof by pleading the Demo

There. many Democrats. who. as nominees
of the Democratic party for the Mayoraity,
would have the support OF the News. But 10

To decide it it ought to be decided by Mr.
Edenharter's defeat means. of course, some one
else's success, and this we hold should be Dem
ny's rather than Davy's There is nothing
to be said against the latter Who votes
for him will vote for honest man. Bns

ment Of certainty in it that Dir. Davys would
lack Mayor Denny has been tried ofncialiy.
He is on record as fearless in the enforce mt
of the law He is committed to the fight
against Coysm. There is. hence. nothing to be
taken trust in voting for him. FOR THIS
reason we prefer him to Mr. Davy. But in the
full liberty of choice let every good citizen seq
to il that, whether he prefers Denny or Davy,
he deposits a ballot TO defeat Edenharter, and
SO again defeat the tally-sheet forgers and keep
our city out of the soled hands Of Coyism.

THE London Spectator, in speaking of the
centennial celebration of the federal Constitu-
tuition, acknowledges great material advance
in the United States within one hundred
years, but sees no corresponding Improvement
in the people, and 'sighs for an improvement
on Washington well as on his house, and
signs in vain" The Spectator should not ex-
pect too much in Democratic year. Some
other year, say about 1889, its signs may be
turned to gratifed smiles.

REPUBLICAN CITY HEADQUARTERS.

Headquarters for the city campaign have
been opened at No. 55 North Pennsylvania
street, No. 3 Martindale Block. Citizens will find
some member of the City Committee there at all
hours of the day and night, until IL o'clock mid
night from now until the close of the fight.
Everybody interested in the contest for good
government is earnestly invited to visit these
headquarters, with suggestions and information
that may help the committee in their work. In
quiries in regard to the canvass. with respect
to public meetings and all other matters, should
be made to these headquarters, where they will
be promptly answered.

that they will do their worst, said at
the Pfaffln Hall meeting, and while they are
doing their worst, let everybody opposed to
the gang do their best. With the best of all

surroundings, associates and following. If
we did not think Mayor Denny could be re-
elected, we should favor the election of Davy
can be elected, and we do not think Davy can
be. In this situation workingmen should
deliberate well before voting. No class of
citizens are more interested in defeating the
gang than they, and the way to do it is to
vote for Denny.
